Abstract

The invention relates to a floor stand for an optical detection device, having a foot part comprising multiple bearing points or a planar standing surface that span a base plane, having a first stand arm which is pivotably connected to the foot part by a first joint on the foot part, and which is connected to a second stand arm by a second joint remote from the foot part, wherein the length of the first stand arm is dimensioned such that the distance between the base plane and the second joint is smaller than the sum of the maximum value for the eye level when seated and the maximum value for the length of the lower leg including the foot when the first stand arm is aligned at 45 degrees in relation to the base plane.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A floor stand for an optical detection device, having a foot part comprising multiple bearing points or a planar standing surface that span a base plane, having a first stand arm which is pivotably connected to the foot part by a first joint on the foot part, and which is connected to a second stand arm by a second joint remote from the foot part, wherein the length of the first stand arm is dimensioned such that the distance between the base plane and the second joint is smaller than the sum of the maximum value for the eye height when seated in accordance with DIN 33402-2—December 2020 and the maximum value for the length of the lower leg including the foot in accordance with DIN 33402-2—December 2020 when the first stand arm is inclined by 45 degrees in relation to the base plane,
 wherein the length of the first stand arm is dimensioned such that the distance between the base plane and the second joint is smaller than the sum of the maximum value for the eye level when seated in accordance with DIN 33402-2—December 2020 and the maximum value for the length of the lower leg including the foot in accordance with DIN 33402-2 —December 2020 when the first stand arm is aligned perpendicularly in relation to the base plane, 
 a weight compensation device is assigned to the first joint, and 
 the weight compensation device comprises two fastening struts extending from the first stand arm, of which each of the fastening struts is connected to a fastening point on the foot part by a spring. 
 
     
     
       2. The floor stand according to  claim 1 , wherein the second stand arm is shorter than the first stand arm. 
     
     
       3. The floor stand according to  claim 2 , wherein the sum of the length of the optical detection device and the length of the second stand arm corresponds to or is smaller than the length of the first stand arm. 
     
     
       4. The floor stand according to  claim 1 , wherein the foot part has a first rotary joint, by way of which the first joint can be rotated about a first axis of rotation oriented perpendicularly in relation to the base plane. 
     
     
       5. The floor stand according to  claim 1 , wherein the first stand arm has a second rotary joint, by way of which the second joint can be rotated about a second axis of rotation extending along the longitudinal axis of the first stand arm. 
     
     
       6. The floor stand according to  claim 1 , wherein a third joint is present at the free end of the second stand arm. 
     
     
       7. The floor stand according to  claim 1 , wherein a housing is assigned to the foot part, and in that the first joint is arranged on the housing. 
     
     
       8. An optical detection apparatus, comprising a floor stand according to  claim 1  and an optical detection device fastened to the floor stand. 
     
     
       9. A floor stand for an optical detection device, having a foot part comprising multiple bearing points or a planar standing surface that span a base plane, having a first stand arm which is pivotably connected to the foot part by a first joint on the foot part, and which is connected to a second stand arm by a second joint remote from the foot part, wherein the length of the first stand arm is dimensioned such that the distance between the base plane and the second joint is smaller than the sum of the maximum value for the eye height when seated in accordance with DIN 33402-2—December 2020 and the maximum value for the length of the lower leg including the foot in accordance with DIN 33402-2—December 2020 when the first stand arm is inclined by 45 degrees in relation to the base plane,
 wherein a weight compensation device is assigned to the first joint, 
 wherein the weight compensation device comprises two fastening struts extending from the first stand arm, of which each of the fastening struts is connected to a fastening point on the foot part by a spring. 
 
     
     
       10. An optical detection apparatus, comprising a floor stand according to  claim 9  and an optical detection device fastened to the floor stand. 
     
     
       11. The floor stand according to  claim 9 , wherein the second stand arm is shorter than the first stand arm. 
     
     
       12. The floor stand according to  claim 11 , wherein the sum of the length of the optical detection device and the length of the second stand arm corresponds to or is smaller than the length of the first stand arm. 
     
     
       13. The floor stand according to  claim 9 , wherein the foot part has a first rotary joint, by way of which the first joint can be rotated about a first axis of rotation oriented perpendicularly in relation to the base plane. 
     
     
       14. The floor stand according to  claim 9 , wherein the first stand arm has a second rotary joint, by way of which the second joint can be rotated about a second axis of rotation extending along the longitudinal axis of the first stand arm. 
     
     
       15. The floor stand according to  claim 9 , wherein a third joint is present at the free end of the second stand arm. 
     
     
       16. The floor stand according to  claim 9 , wherein a housing is assigned to the foot part, and in that the first joint is arranged on the housing.
